According to this report, some homeowners are finding interlopers in their pool. So far this is a phenomenon in England. As a real estate agent I like the information that I can find online for homes and Google Earth is one of tools I use.
As a homeowner I can imagine that it can be unnerving. If someone wishes to do something illegal. these tools help them as well. For the pool bandits, they can find a pool and plan an escape route. For someone with some more menacing ideas, they can do the same.
I just did a search off Skyline to look for million dollar homes and was distracted by this map image (pic below). I can’t tell if it was put in afterwards, which seems unlikely, or was done by the owner. Interesting. Anyway, like any good intentioned or planned idea, someone can figure out a why to use it nefariously. Just keep that in mind.
